True patriots don’t prevent conservatives from speaking. True patriots don’t try to sabotage the right with Holocaust denial and jokes.
I have not followed Fuentes in over a year. When I listened to his YouTube channel I mostly heard him speaking articulately on various topics of concern to conservatives. He often had a unique take on issues not presented by grifters like Kirk. Yes, he included snarky comments that are considered to be antisemitic but this was a niggling percentage of his commentary. I believe this is why Trump was impressed with Fuentes when they got a chance to talk.
I understand that lately he has gone off the rails and seems to be going full MGTOW which I can't support. He claims that optics is important, but he doesn't appear to be following his own advice.
All along he may have been a grifter, a fed, or just someone with very strong beliefs outside the norm. Whatever the case, he did do some good in pushing back against phoneys like McCain with an eyepatch, Kirk, and other GOPe scum.
He is a big fan of Trump. He claims he wants Trump to be emperor for life so there was no way he was going to turn down an opportunity to see him.
It's on Trump's staff, and ultimately Trump himself, for letting Fuentes get so close to him. In the current situation where everyone right of Mitt is labeled a white supremacist and guilt by association is the rule of the day the Trump camp ought to have done a better job at vetting guests. Trump did kick out Epstein, but even if Ye had shown up alone, Trump still would have gotten criticized for meeting with an antisemite.
